The city has been struck by the devastating effects of flooding in recent days and damage is widespread.

However, in amongst the anguish of this latest natural disaster to hit the northern region of the state – there are many people doing good things to help out others in their community.

From Townsville Blackhawks players rescuing pets, to NQ Cowboys players rescuing team mates and local residents by boat as the unfolding situation impacted an entire community – there are heart-warming stories all round.

QRL Northern Division (Region) have also answered the call by donating three boxes of gear (shirts and shorts etc) at the centre as they were asking for urgent supplies of clothing.

"There will be a lot of people walking around in Summer Camp shirts in the next few days," QRL Northern Division (Region) Manager Scott Nosworthy said, adding that the QRL were happy to help out in whatever way possible.
